Contruction phase Services: Architect's Responsabilities
Looking thru YouTube questions and additional resources, I saw this question from Black Spectacles. https://youtu.be/wPNJ5XxnLm0?si=RFwtCM6fcRulyclb
As per Schiff Harding Lecture about B101 https://youtu.be/0r5ys2WC7xw?si=z5rW4m7JAifdi_bl and his analysis from B101 3.6.1.2 (min 1:50:55) The architect seems to have the capacity to ammend the contractor in his role?
Where are the red lines about the responsabilities for means and methodes? What can I expect in the exam?

Hi Ulises Bea, thank you for bringing this question up.
This is a great example of a sample exam question that may have more than one "correct" answer, but it is crucial that you select the best answer as it relates to NCARB objectives.
AIA B101 § 3.6.1.2 states that "...The Architect shall not have control over, charge of, or responsibility for the construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures...nor shall the Architect be responsible for the Contractor’s failure to perform the Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents..."
This is why it is important that the architect simply inform the GC that there is a discrepancy, and not tell the painter to stop the work or instruct the GC how the wall should be painted. From there, it may lead to further discussion or additional action (i.e. change order), but given the information you are presented in the question, a simple conversation with the GC would be the most appropriate route.
Hope this helps. Happy studying!
